Time To Pet 4+

I just starting using Time To Pet! It is a great pet caregiver software. However, I would like to see you add the option to select all day option to the trip tool when scheduling overnight pet sittings. I schedule a large number of pet sittings that include overnight and day care it would be helpful if in the trip tool I could select all day vs having to schedule them for all day and all night. I can’t figure out how to bypass this. It’s very cumbersome and clogs up my entire calendar and makes it difficult to see my walks and drop ins for other clients.

The entire TTP software, including the app, have been wonderful for me since I started using them. My favorite part is that it’s a relatively small company, so when I write with questions or suggestions, the team is always quick to respond and very helpful. They take suggestions seriously, so if enough users are asking for a specific feature, they do what they can to make it happen. The app is great for keeping track of your schedule, handling client information, and communicating with clients. The two features I’m still hoping for are (1) A place to see all new/unopened messages. It’s a little annoying to get a notification that a client has messaged you, and then have to scroll all the way to the client’s name and then to their conversation to be able to see the new message. I’m always afraid I’ll miss one. New messages in one central location would be great. (2) Larger request, but the ability to do scheduling and approve/deny requests from the app. This would take much more time than the messages thing to implement, so I know we might not see it anytime soon. That’s okay.

And I went to my cousin who has an idea on why it would take. It was clear that in order to do everything I wanted it would be a huge undertaking.

And then this app came along and it does everything I want. It Gps and time tracks. It integrates the schedule and the invoice. It allows me to send messages and photos to clients and for them to communicate back through the app or email.

They’re quick to fix issues and seem keen to improve the app regularly.

When I first started my company I was writing my schedule in my notes app and sending it to my walkers via text. I was invoicing using a free clunky invoicing program clearly not made for my company. I was leaving “report cards” for the dogs which were little slips of paper with some info on the walk that were mostly just thrown away or left near the doorway. I was uploading photos to Facebook.

Time to Pet makes most of those things unnecessary. I love it. On one hand I want to shout about it to all the dog walking companies out there because I want Time to Pet to thrive. On the other hand I don’t want my competition to touch it because it’s a genuine leg up in many ways over whatever else they may use.
